So I just saw the Trump commercial re: Desantis. He accuses Desantis of wanting to cut Medicare funding among other things. All dark and foreboding in black and white (of course). And here's my favorite part: "Desantis even voted to raise the retirement age to 70"!!
Anyone even halfway responsible who looks at the Social Security trust fund numbers knows the retirement age will have to be lifted. Americans are living longer. There's no other option. Well, there is one other option -- raising SS taxes and/or raising or eliminating the income cap. Both Democrat solutions.
Of course Trump has no proposed solution to this problem. He just promises us a "big beautiful Social Security System" with no details as to how that will happen, and takes shots at anyone having the courage to vote for real solutions. For those of us who are small government conservatives (which used to constitute the majority of Free Republic), Trump is showing his true feathers as just another big government Democrat. Which he used to be.
Solving our fiscal problems and at least slowing down our journey to the financial cliff will require straight talk and courage. When it comes to the budget, Trump has demonstrated neither. The deficit continued to skyrocket during his tenure, and he couldn't sign the stimulus checks fast enough. He even baited Biden because his checks weren't as big as Trump's were.
So if you believe in smaller government and fiscal restraint, and are a Trump supporter, you're being played. He's just trying to buy your vote with your money like the rest of them. In other words, he's the latest in a long line of Presidents who are no-courage hacks.
Of course his supporters will come out of the woodwork throwing rocks. They won't refute or debate any of these points. They'll just rant about MAGA this or Desanctimonious that. They are so firmly entrenched in the Cult of Trump they can't see past the lips firmly planted on his ass.
Good luck with your GOP loser party.
HIRE? Not to bright.
Well the John Birch Society did, but they were right about almost everything, except Civil Rights. GOD how I HATE marxism.
MCarthy warned, so did the John Birch Society.But too many didn’t want to listen.There should be a statue of Joe McCarthy.
Hoped he’d catch the to.
Can't veto a budget when there is no budget presented. But basically he did just that by refusing to sign the continuing resolution.
We’ll probably take back the Senate and enlarge the House majority in 2024 if Trump is the nominee. I heard he plans to start endorsing Dimocrats.
I heard he was on the Fox News Board?
(Paul Ryan)
Yes, purge FR from everyone that doesn’t bow down to Trump. Geez, FR has enough trouble making their numbers. The f@#$ bombs and insults to long term members, members who may have supported Trump once or twice in the past is a clear path to losing in 2024.
Trump will endorse demoncrats?
Keep drinking the Kool-aid. Social Security is beyond broke, and the reckoning is coming. And Trump attacks anyone trying to fix it. What a leader.
So far, the country has gotten the government they deserve, by being so disengaged. I count myself in those numbers, mainly because I put my faith into a political party, believing they had the nation's best interests at heart.
The treatment they have given to DJT has opened my eyes to the reality that most of them are no better than the Democrats. We refer to them as RINOs.
It's why the moniker has arisen to refer to the Uniparty, to encompass both Democrats & their brother cohorts the RINo s.
For the corruption spans both sides of aisles, and they are screwing the American citizen left & right.
Hopefully more & more people will wake up to realize that both parties are playing the people against DJT along with the movement to take back our country.
The Uniparty members are destroying our country on purpose, because they have been promised seats at the table of the One World Government. As far as they are concerned, we are all just dead people walking. They have no respect for the lives of anyone but the elites who think they will create a nirvana utopia.
Marxism gives them the vehicle to dictate, as they view a god would dictate, if they believed he really existed in the first place, which they don't.
I guess I needed to post a sarcasm tag on that.
He has endorsed so many losers that he needs to start endorsing Dimocrats.
Testing out your repertoire of logical fallacies?
I’d give it an F, trite and repetitious.
Lol I know you’re such a tough guy that telling you FU is just whining. I’m so impressed.
Yeah sure thing because Trump was so awful before
You’ve proven you’re an idiot
Pathetic post. If you’re going to do a vanity, at least act like you have some intelligence.
Sure, why not? And while he's at it, why not just take ALL our paychecks too?
Why not, right? Those of us nearing retirement age, well let's just move the goalpost and make us work even longer to get back CRUMBS of what the Government has STOLEN from us and spent elsewhere!
Here's an idea: F*** NO. I've worked over 40 years. In 40 years I've collected TWO WEEKS of unemployment.
I will *never* live long enough to get back the money I paid into that PONZI SCHEME called "social security" and now some assclown demands moving the goalpost AGAIN on me?
F*** NO.
It's my money and I want it all back NOW. One check. NOW. Not 'dribs and drabs' ONE CHECK. The bastards stole it from me every week, I want it back.
And I'll be damn'ed if some assclown on here says "raise the retirement age and increase taxes" when I'm near retirement age.
Nope. I'm old and I guarandamntee I'm treacherous. Mess with my retirement and that assclown is going to look down the end of something he ain't gonna like.
Awesome list 👍👍👍
